... No muslim is a muslim if he dont believe in jesus (pbuh) infact we muslims are more christians then the christians themself,islam it self means peace.Religion of peace cann't be barbaric or mudereous.it is the fundamentals which make the religion good or bad. Fundamentals of islam are to believe in one god and mohammed the prophet of god,salaat (pray to god the almighty Allah the creator not the moon god),Zakat (charity which is must on every muslim who has more than required), saum (Fasting not only food but to guard each and every part of the body from doing wrong things, Hajj(pilligrimage to Makkah which was build by abraham the prophet of god),when there is no violence in the fundamentals how islam becomes barbaric and mudereous ?All the religions preach good ways to lead life but islam is the only religion which not only preach good ways but also show practical ways to achieve peaceful and good life.islam preach peace for humanity.
